Any comments on this before I put it live everywhere?
I feel like a total doofus, but how do you give coordinates for four corners (in rect) using four single numbers?? The order must be significant, but the documentation doesn't say what it should be. Likewise with poly, how are the numbers interpreted as coords exactly?
It's all specified in the HTML specifications: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#h-13.6.
Sorry again for what may be a naive question, but if you're going to use HTML semantics why not just use HTML?
Any parser of wikitext at this point must understand HTML anyway, and doubly so for a renderer. I appreciate that other wiki markup intends to make the text more human-friendly, but in this particular instance I suppose it's not really possible to make image coordinates human friendly, and the proposed syntax has a one-to-one correspondence with "more complicated" HTML but with a syntax nobody has seen before.
